Djokovic has not been happy at the Monte Carlo tournament for a long time.
An appointment that plays at home but that has not given him joy for a long time.
He was dismissed after his loss to Musetti
The world number one, defeated last year in his debut against Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich and two years ago also in the third round, said goodbye to the start of the European clay tour in his second match this week.
Novak Djokovic could not emerge as a winner
Another bad result with the pressure of wanting to show off as a resident of the Principality.
Musetti was incredulous
The Belgrade suffered the step forward of a Musetti who achieved the biggest victory of his life, denying the head, incredulous when he ended the resistance of the number one in the fourth match ball in the third set.
The match lasted almost three hours
After almost three hours of play on the Rainier III court, the 21 year-old Italian knocked out an erratic Djokovic, who never felt comfortable in the wet and windy conditions of the day in Montercarlo, where he is a two-time champion.
Musetti came back after the first set
Musetti got up from the canvas after dropping the first set and conceding a 2-4 in the second.
The Italian began to grow after the first set
Nole, champion of the Australian Open in January, suffered a short circuit in his game and conceded two breaks in a row. The Italian began to grow with his serve to force the third set with renewed conviction.
Finally Musetti supo imponerse
After his serious victories over Miomir Kecmanovic and Luca Nardi, Musetti finished believing in his chances with a break in the seventh game of the third act.
Although Djokovic resisted, he did not manage to beat Italian
Although Djokovic resisted, the Italian sealed his place in the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000 for the second time, where he will face his compatriot Jannik Sinner.
